Defenders' Experts
Florida Panther
Fewer
than 100 Florida panthers are left in the United State today. Once ranging across
eight southeastern states, they are now isolated in south Florida.
Grim New Road Kill Record
In 2007 15 panthers were killed on Florida highways, making a grim new annual road kill mortality record for these endangered animals. Find out what Defenders is doing to help reduce vehicle mortality.
